ISS submitted a proposal to the US State Department, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, to conduct exchanges that increase participation by girls in sports in Malaysia. Collaborating partner is the Olympic Council of Malaysia. Sports associations in Iowa will send representatives to Malaysia to work with local coaches and schools to enhance participation. A delegation of coaches will come to Iowa to plan and conduct programs that can be a model for application in Malaysia. A two-year project is planned and a decision from the State Department is expected in the summer of 2009. If favorable, operations will begin in September.
